For more information on this vulnerability and more detailed mitigation instructions, please see Siemens Security Advisory SSA-323211 at the following location:

<http://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories>

ICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:

Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.

Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and isolate them from the business network.

When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.

Attackers with network access to the device’s web interface (Port 80/TCP) could circumvent authentication and perform certain administrative operations. A legitimate user must be logged into the web interface for the attack to be successful.

Manuals can be obtained from the downloads menu at the following Siemens web site:\n\n<http://www.siemens.com/gridsecurity>\n\n * Restrict network access to Port 80/TCP and Port 50000/UDP\n\nSiemens recommends users protect network access with appropriate mechanisms such as firewalls, segmentation, and VPNs. Siemens also advises that users configure the operational environment according to Siemens\u2019 Operational Guidelines for Industrial Security:\n\n<https://www.siemens.com/cert/operational-guidelines-industrial-security>\n\nFor more information on this vulnerability and more detailed mitigation instructions, please see Siemens Security Advisory SSA-323211 at the following location:\n\n<http://www.siemens.com/cert/advisories>\n\nICS-CERT recommends that users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities. Specifically, users should:\n\n * Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, and ensure that they are not accessible from the Internet.\n * Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls, and isolate them from the business network.\n * When remote access is required, use secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing that VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize that VPN is only as secure as the connected devices.\n\nICS-CERT reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures.\n\nICS-CERT also provides a section for [control systems security recommended practices](<https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/content/recommended-practices>) on the ICS-CERT web page. Several recommended practices are available for reading and download, including [Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies.](<https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/recommended_practices/NCCIC_ICS-CERT_Defense_in_Depth_2016_S508C.pdf>)\n\nAdditional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available in the ICS\u2011CERT Technical Information Paper, [ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies](<https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/tips/ICS-TIP-12-146-01B>), that is available for download from the [ICS-CERT web site](<https://ics-cert.us-cert.gov/>).\n\nOrganizations observing any suspected malicious activity should follow their established internal procedures and report their findings to ICS-CERT for tracking and correlation against other incidents.\n\nIn addition, ICS-CERT recommends that users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks:\n\n 1. Do not click web links or open unsolicited attachments in email messages.\n 2. Refer to [Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams](<https://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/emailscams_0905.pdf>) for more information on avoiding email scams.\n 3. Refer to [Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks](<https://www.us-cert.gov/cas/tips/ST04-014.html>) for more information on social engineering attacks.\n\nNo known public exploits specifically target these vulnerabilities.\n\n## VULNERABILITY OVERVIEW\n\n## [IMPROPER INPUT VALIDATION CWE-20](<https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/20.html>)\n\nSpecially crafted packets sent to Port 50000/UDP could cause a denial of service of the affected device.
